After extensive research of property for sale in Turkey, Overseas Connections have chosen to focus on the Aegean coast to offer customers the very best properties in Turkey, in the very finest location.

The Aegean Coast in the west of Turkey is a real-life slice of heaven, with beautiful skies, clear warm waters and a superb climate, this corner of Turkey boasts everything you could want from your dream location: soft sandy beaches, majestic peaks, and fragrant pine forests surrounding crystal waters teeming with exotic reefs and a rich marine life.

Extending from Bodrum to Ephesus, this glorious coastline is also home to the remnants of ancient civilisations dating back over 5,000 years.

Didim
The ever-popular resort of Didim blends picture-book coves and perfect beaches with a bustling harbor where you can dine in style and shop in the colourful local market. Dominating the town are the stupendous remains of The Temple of Apollo, a masterpiece of Ionian architecture whose grand columns still stand 2,000 years after they were first erected.

Akbuk
Akbuk is located in the centre of Turkey’s favorite coast next to the clear waters of the Aegean Sea, the town, which is between Bodrum and Didim, is the perfect holiday location set in a beautiful natural environment. Akbuk is a much loved region by both foreign and local tourists, it is purported to have the highest oxygen ratio and the lowest humidity in Turkey.

The climate in Akbuk is warm and the gentle breeze is refreshing enough to cool you down, especially in the peak summer months. In contrast to Altinkum, Akbuk is largely untouched and un spoilt by the tourist industry.

Akbuk offers blue flag beaches, shops, restaurants and bars, is within easy driving distance of a number of stunning sights including Bafa Lake and the Apollon Temple, it has easy access to Altinkum and many other cultural and social activities, whether it is enjoying the local cuisine or enjoying a sense of history by visiting the ruined Roman city of Ephesus, there is plenty to do for everyone!

Akbuk is surrounded by green forests and lovely beaches. The ground is fairly level, making it perfect for building, and it has a building restriction that only bungalows or two storey properties can be constructed, this will mean that the area will have a wealth of large detached villas with large gardens and will therefore be very upmarket and command high prices.

The low 15% building permission is restricted to help prevent the area looking built up. The government has restricted that 85% of the land in Akbuk has to remain as green area.

Akbuk set at the foot of gently sloping mountains and extending around a beautiful turquoise blue bay is fast becoming a hot spot for British buyers. For lovers of peace and tranquility coupled with breathtaking views this is definitely the place to be, although not a thriving tourist resort, Akbuk offers a charm and a feel of real Turkish living.
